You may have guessed by now that I have a passion for night photography, but not just static objects, I love the opportunities for showing movement too. This exposure was only half a second, much more and moving things start to disappear completely. I have my favourite spots for this type of photography, and I really love the magical back lighting given by the Cathedral floodlights here. We had a fresh covering of snow today, so this evening the Cathedral lawns were full of families building snowmen and generally having fun. It is very rare to get so many people in a shot like this. I decided to focus on the trees and buildings in the background, because everything in front was going to be moving anyway. I fired off about 20 shots, some wide angle, some zoomed in close, and tried to second guess where people were going to move to. It was fun, despite the bitter cold, and I got a few nice combinations of action going on. 

There are a lot of myths about night photography, many people avoid it like the plague, which is a real shame. It is a sort of mission of mine to break those myths and get everyone out shooting at night. The possibilities are endless, and the results can be quite magical.
